Andy Murray has been dumped out of the US Open by Switzerland's Stanilas Wawrinka at Flushing Meadows.
The Swiss won the match 6-7 (3/7) 7-6 (7/4) 6-3 6-3.
The game featured 13 breaks of serve and almost as many breaks in play for medical treatment to both players.
Murray had a 5-3 career record against Wawrinka coming into the match, including a memorable five-set victory at Wimbledon last year.
But the 23-year-old fell short this time around and often openly vented his fury at unforced errors.
There was a moment of controversy in the first set when a Murray backhand hit the top of the net. Wawrinka shouted 'Allez', presumably thinking he had won the point, but the ball dropped in and after Wawrinka returned it, Murray dumped his next shot into the net.
The Scot was furious and asked umpire Steve Ullrich: "It's okay for him to scream 'Allez' when the ball has not crossed the net?', to which Ullrich replied: "As long as the ball is going towards him."
During the match, the trainer was called to attend to Murray's left thigh and neck and both of Wawrinka's legs.
The Swiss completed his win in just under four hours.
